Considering the Future of Academic Conferences

Robert Kelchen

One of the defining features of life in higher education for full-time faculty, administrators, and graduate students has been the academic conference.

How do you define hybrid, or hyflex, learning?

Dr. Simon Paul Atkinson

I struggled recently to define hybrid learning to a client. They asked how they could go about creating ‘hybrid learning’ for their learners. A reasonable question? There appears to be some confusion, in practice and in the literature, as to the differences between hybrid, hyflex (hiflex, hi-flex, etc), and blended learning. So, I would like to take a minute to propose some definitional parameters, and wait to see if you agree or disagree.

Teaching about existential threats: why we need to teach concepts, not just facts.

Dr. Simon Paul Atkinson

It has now been more than four months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Like many, I have been ruminating. This post it’s about that. Or at least not directly. I have been thinking about how badly we need to be teaching about existential threats. I think we need to develop a curriculum that is open to contemporary real world challenges. I think global education needs to adjust to new realities.

Supporting a Campus President on Social Media

Campus Sonar

As presidential digital leadership evolves, marketing leaders and their teams are more likely to support an executive social media presence. Even if you haven’t done this in the past, presidents change, and each change in leadership brings with it a change in social media presence. Being a leader on social media without a strategic focus is risky, and every executive should have a thoughtful approach to their online presence.

Memo to Universities UK: don’t let this crisis go to waste

SRHE

by Rob Cuthbert. C arpe diem, quam minimum credula postero [1]. Our text is from Boris and Horace. Boris Johnson had Churchillian aspirations, and it was Churchill who supposedly first said in the 1940s: “never let a good crisis go to waste”, in the context of the formation of the United Nations. And it was Horace much longer ago who urged us to seize the day, and put little faith in the future.
